RESUMO
The synthesis and hybridization properties of novel nucleic acid analogs, alpha-anomeric oligodeoxyribonucleotide N3'-->P5' phosphoramidates, are described. The alpha-3'-aminonucleoside building blocks used for oligonucleotide synthesis were synthesized from 3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine or 3'-azido-2',3'-dideoxyuridine via acid catalyzed anomerization or transglycosylation reactions. The base-protected alpha-5'-O-DMT-3'-aminonucleosides were assembled into dimers and oligonucleotides on a solid support using the oxidative phosphorylation method.1H NMR analysis of the alpha-N3'-->P5' phosphoramidate dimer structures indicates significant differences in the sugar puckering of these compounds relative to the beta-N3'-->P5' phosphoramidates and to the alpha-phosphodiester counterparts. Additionally, the ability of the alpha-oligonucleotide N3'-->P5' phosphoramidates to form duplexes was studied using thermal denaturation experiments. Thus the N3'-->P5' phosphoramidate decamer containing only alpha-thymidine residues did not bind to poly(A) and exhibited lower duplex thermal stability with poly(dA) than that for the corresponding beta-anomeric phosphoramidate counterpart. A mixed base decamer alpha-CTTCTTCCTT formed duplexes with the RNA and DNA complementary strands only in a parallel orientation. Melting temperatures of these complexes were significantly lower, by 34-47 or 15-25 degrees C, than for the duplexes formed by the isosequential beta-phosphoramidates in antiparallel and parallel orientations respectively. In contrast, the alpha-decaadenylic N3'-->P5' phosphoramidate formed duplexes with both RNA and DNA complementary strands with a stability similar to that of the corresponding beta-anomeric phosphoramidate. Moreover, the self-complementary oligonucleotide alpha-ATATATATAT did not form an alpha:alpha homoduplex. These results demonstrate the effects of 3'-aminonucleoside anomeric configuration on sugar puckering and consequently on stability of the duplexes.
